“Moses screwed me up.”
Me too. I forgot he’s the guy that filled his ark up with Jews to cross the Red Sea.
“..and am a love machine...”
Um. That isn’t a reference to the animal sex on the Ark question is it?
Nope you take the first one, thirty minutes later the next, then another thirty minutes the last. That’s sixty.
Nope. Just because he has you take one every x minutes is no indication of how long the effect will last, it only means he is spreading the delivery of the medication over a period of time.
10 out of 11. The Moses question screwed me up.
Same here. READ THE QUESTION DUMMY!
OK, they got me with the widow and the ark, but who says I can’t wait half an hour before taking my first pill?
11 out of 11

10 of 11. Overlooked “Moses” in that question.
Depends whether they are red pills or blue pills.
Why would California pass a law about the marriage rights of the dead?
10 out of 11 right.
Nice try, but you shot yourself in the foot with "implied".
Some of us got a free ride to college on our ability to take multiple choice tests. :-)

The trick in this question is that most sane people understand that pill that you have is not immediately valuable, but a pill that is in your body is doing something that you need. A pill's EFFECT lasts for a certain time. Normal people read the question as "for how long the combined effect of three pills lasts?" We do not know how long is the tail of the effect, but since we know that pills must be taken with a 30 min. interval then the usable part of the effect is contained in that interval.
You can also look at it from another dimension. What does it mean "a pill ... lasts?" It means "for how long does it work in your body." You can have the pill in your hand, or you can have it in your stomach. Swallowing of a pill does not destroy it; however once it ends working and gets removed from the bloodstream then it truly disappears. Since each pill lasts 30 minutes in your blood then three pills, taken as indicated, will last 90 minutes.
One could say "How soon you have no more pills in the container?" but that was not the question. If each pill buys you a month of life, three pills will last you three months starting at the moment you take the first one. Anyone arguing otherwise is too smart for his own good; he might just as well argue what the meaning of the word "is" is.
Very pithy, Greysard. :-)
Yup, Moses got me too ...
Got them all right but almost tripped on the divide 30 by 1/2...
Nope - think it through.
um...11/11
11/11 in under a minute. This is more of a “are you paying attention” test than an intelligence test IMHO.
10/11. Yes... Honestly. I don’t know squat about baseball...
